Using accelerometer data to correct for gyro drift

Gyroscopes do not measure acceleration, so they obviously cannot be used to calculate the direction of gravity. In other words, we can use gyro outputs to calculate an estimation of the direction...

How to correct the correction vector for an IMU

In a previous post, I explained how to correct for gyro drift by using the accelerometer’s reading of the gravitational acceleration vector. But how do we know the measured gravitational vector is...
